THE BASICS
What Is a Line Sorter?
A line sorter puts each line of your text into a new order. It is the quickest way to alphabetise a list of names, tidy a column copied from a spreadsheet, or put numbers in order without opening a spreadsheet at all.
Sorting is natural-aware, so file2 comes before file10, and numbers inside lines can be sorted by their value.
